September is here! For many that means back to class — either as students themselves, or as parents sending their kids off to school. It’s a big change for many households this time of year. And that includes additional financial responsibilities.

Back-to-school clothes for the kids, school supplies, meals for school lunches … It adds up. Or more accurately, it all piles up. For people who are experiencing food insecurity or financial challenges, it can be a very tough time.

But the Kingsville Community Food Bank is here to help. Their volunteers are dedicated and ready to provide relief and assistance. And of course, none of this would be possible without the people of our community who give so generously.

Here’s a list of items that the Food Bank is looking for in September:

They  welcome gift cards for groceries, products for babies, pet supplies including dog and cat food, laundry and dish detergents, toilet paper, paper towels, and more. Cardboard boxes and cloth bags are always welcome. If you can help, the Food Bank would appreciate it.

The Food Bank is located at 18 Division Street North in Kingsville across the street from RBC Bank. You can also use their drop-off bin inside Zehrs, shown in the picture below.
